NESCO is the best dehydrator brand! I highly recommend!
I LOVE THESE TRAYS AND THE NESCO DEHYDRATORS (I OWN 2 dehydrators). They are easy to use and work great!

Extra Trays
These extra trays are working very well. Wasn't sure about ordering these based on some reviews, but am pleasantly surprised with these trays. Keeping in mind these are plastic, and they could break - however treated well I think they will last for a long time. They fit into the current trays I have and easily worked to stack and create additional space for dehydrating. I followed the suggestions Nesco has, only hand wash/dry these and they cleaned up well - I am happy with my purchase.

slight design differences - works the same
Perfect fit and performance. My only complaint is that they clearly changed plastics. I'm not really complaining; I don't really care. It's a slightly different shade of white than original. Slight.

Not exactly like the originals that came with my FD-1040, hope they work anyway.
I bought these to add to my Nesco Gardenmaster Digital FD-1040. My Gardenmaster isn't very old, I've only had it a month or two. They are not exactly like the ones that came with my dehydrator. They are not exactly like the ones in the pictures on the product page. They are not exactly like the ones in the picture on the box they came in. The pictures on the product page, and the pictures on the box, look just like the ones that came with my dehydrator. There is a little disclaimer on the box that says something like "product may differ slightly from item shown". In the picture on the left, are the new add-a-trays. They have a tall center ring, with turret-like cutouts, unlike my original trays, which have a shorter, smooth center ring that you can see in the picture on the right. The original trays are "dished", (sort of like a bicycle wheel) giving them a subtle shape like a volcano. When they are stacked, the center rings fit together with no gaps. The new trays are flat, and therefore deeper in the center, so the center rings are taller. If you look down the center hole in the picture on the right, you can see the resulting gap between the center rings of the original tray on the top and the new trays on the bottom. If I stack the new, flat trays on the original trays, I lose about 1/3 of the drying space around the center of the original tray that is directly under the new tray, because the original is a subtle cone-shape, and the new tray is flat. The second picture shows one of the little hooks on the new tray. My original trays dont have these. I'm not a big fan of the hooks, I already hurt my hand with one while cleaning it prior to use. I hope these trays will work for me. I am afraid that the center rings having cutouts will change the airflow inside the machine, which the advertising said was specifically designed to be efficient, and eliminate the need for rotating trays. The new trays are also just a hair larger than the originals, but they seem to stack up together ok. I haven't been able to contact Nesco yet, to find out if there is another add-a-tray out there for the FD-1040, because they're closed on the weekend. I'm going to go ahead and try these, because I've got produce that isn't going to wait until I find out where to get trays like the originials (if they're even available anywhere).

Does More Wattage Mean More Efficiency?
I bought a pack of two of these trays to add to my new Nesco Garden Master dehydrator. My experience with the Nesco Square dehydrator taught me that there is a limit to the number of trays you can use before the drying time stretches to an unreasonable length. Using eight trays in the 700 watt square Nesco really lengthened the time it took to dehydrate sweet potato treats for my dogs, so it made sense to drop back to six trays. Since the Nesco Garden Master has 1,000 watts of power, I was tempted to buy four additional trays instead of the two I purchased. After thinking about it, I decided to only add two to see how the new more powerful dehydrator worked out. You can always add more trays later if that appears to be a good option. I'm glad that I only bought the two extras. Having 1,000 watts of power instead of 700 watts sounds a lot more powerful, but the results don't confirm any additional efficiency. I ran both Nescos with six trays each of sweet potato slices to compare the length of time needed to completely dry them out. Both of them gave similar results over a twelve hour time period--and both of them needed another two hours to complete the job. Obviously your results will vary depending on how thick you cut your slices and how many you place on each tray. But unless you don't mind waiting for 14 hours to get the job done, stick with only six trays for each dehydrator.

Not exactly like the original trays, but work well enough
I needed a few trays to extend a Gardenmaster dehydrator, and these were recommended for the 1000 series dehydrators. There are a few differences between the original trays and these add-a-trays, but they still function well. I have used them a few times and have no issues to report, but may modify my opinion after extended use.
